People who went to see Chris Rock last night (or Tuesday) - what did you think of the show? It was our third time seeing him and it was really good, but not awesome. Maybe my memory has failed me, but I don't remember his shows being AS raunchy and filthy as this one was. I guess I expected more of a comedic deep dive into the social and political mess that we're currently experiencing, but what we got was more of a TED Talk on pussy. I'm curious what others thought.

I went last night. Chris Rock has always had the raunchiness mixed in with his social and political commentary. But since he’s single I think he’s a little more focused on getting laid. I really enjoyed the show but I did feel like he was using a smaller audience in Richmond to test new material. Some of it didn’t seem fully thought out and dragged on, which is common when comedians are trying to figure out what material works and doesn’t work when preparing for a big special.

Also saw CR the other night. Some of the material was spot on. But the show did drag in some spots. His stuff about dating didn’t really land. In some spots it seemed force. Just trying to be raunchy for the sake of being raunchy. Cheap laughs.

This is really funny to me- one of the accountants in my husband's office volunteers as one of the people at shows that help people to their seat. She is a sweet grandma who is very passionate about the chesterfield county fair. I can't wait to hear her impression of the show.
